By design, restart is hard coded to run stop followed by start along
with all of the pre/post functions associated with them. Restart doesn't
need its own pre/post functions since it is possible to make any
function in an init script behave differently for a restart command by
testing against the RC_CMD environment variable.
The Gentoo developer manual covers how to handle restarts in init
scripts, but this was not officially covered in OpenRc's Documentation.
This commit adds an example to the runscript man page that shows how
this works.
The commands defined in the extra_commands variable do not depend on
whether the service is stopped or started, so it is valid to run them in
chroot environments.
Also, add a note to the runscript man page about the commands in
extra_commands being able to run whether or not the service is started.

Checkpath -W will use access(3p) to determine whether or not a path is
writable. This is more accurate than test(1p) because it also takes into
account whether or not the filesystem is mounted read-only.
Modified by William Hubbs to add the man page update.
The start-stop-daemon "--make-pidfile" option is now used by default when using
command_background, this requires a pidfile to be specified.
Document command_background option.

This commit provides the checkpath applet with feature parity to
systemd's tmpfiles.c create_item function.
Very similarly to the systemd function, it does NOT do any of the
cleanup work in this function.

symbolic links should not be followed in an attempt to work out the name
of the service we are running. Also, @sysconfdir@/conf.d should be tried
as a backup directory for configuration files.
I would like to thank Robin Johnson for his input on this change.
